Themes: Snap
Snap
Snap is a Moodle theme that makes online learning an enjoyable and intuitive experience for learners and educators.
Snap's user-friendly design removes barriers to online learning, enabling you to create the modern, engaging experience user's expect on the web today. Snap's intuitive layout is optimised for online learning, focusing on the things that matter - your learning activities and content.
Personal menu
Snap’s easy to use navigation gives users an elegant way to perform frequent tasks. All your courses, deadlines, messages and feedback are always one click or tap away to save you time.
Courses with personality
Every course in Snap let's teachers add a cover image to give it a unique personality.
Courses in Snap allow you create individual topics, so learners understand where their focus should be without being confused or overwhelmed by lots of links and options.
Each topic shows students their progress, which is updated inline with ajax as you progress through the course.
Every activity in Snap shows students the due date, if they have submitted, and if feedback is available - without having to open the activity.
Teachers are shown how many users have submitted an activity, and if they need to grade any submissions.
Teacher's workflows for creating and structuring content in their courses are also optimised to save time. With no need to turn editing on, inline resource/activity deleting, the ability to move multiple resources/activities at once, inline topic creation and many other ways to help teachers give learners the best online learning experience.
Working seamlessly across every device - from desktop to mobile, Snap’s responsive Twitter Bootstrap based framework provides a consistent, professional experience for learning whenever and wherever you want to learn.

Under the hood:
Like most other Moodle Themes today Snap runs on Bootstrap 4, jQuery, Sass, and inherits from the Boost theme.

Snap is continuously updated, with each major version released 6 months after the Moodle release. If you'd like to test our work in progress it's always available on github!

Thank you for your work on the fork for 3.4. I am using your form and have OAuth enabled and on my login page I am getting an error message "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /public_html/theme/snap/classes/renderables/login_alternative_methods.php on line 55".
Snap is really looking great!
It is the best theme for Moodle to look professional. Thanks for your fantastic work!
I'm still looking for ways to use it on *medium or big* courses (with a lots of sections).
1/ Is there a way to group the sections (like in Coursera) ?
2/ I have the strong impression that it loads all the sections at once. How can I avoid that?
This is especially problematic if I embed google maps in a section. It gets loaded each time I move to another section
3/ Embedded H5P videos may just show "Video player loading..." going back to the corresponding section from another section after reloading the page
Thanks for your help
how can I add nice buttons to navigate from an activity to the previous or next?
Having no buttons is much confusing for users.
Thx
Pat: for buttons, you could "manually" add buttons by inserting an image or text link, and then manually linking the button / text to the next / previous activity. Not ideal, but a workaround for now....
I have snap theme and installed the social wall format, it doesn't work correctly, the box for comments doesn't show. How can I fix it? Thanks.
Thanks for this quick answer!
I'm now wondering if we use the theme correctly.
How do you structure your large courses ?
Do you divide them into smaller courses that can be loaded entirely ?
Or is the theme only created with small courses in mind?
BTW, we want to add interactive content (like games, maps) in inner frames but they get loaded from the start (for instance adding a google map slows everything, and Moodle displays it first even if we are normally on another page). Is there a preferred way to include them?
When the user is on an activity, he needs to come back to the normal flow of the course (back to the section).
Is there a reason why no button has been added to the activity to do so?
@Joseph: Thx, that can do the trick. I'm just surprised to have to use a hack to have this classic UX.
Thx again for your help
